Autozone rents torque wrenches that go that high.

I just went to Autozone and Oriellys and both only had ones that went to 150

Buy one from HD or Lowe’s and then return it?

That's too bad. They had one near me.

Maybe harbor frieght has something that doesn't cost and arm and a leg. Or...

This...

Hmmmm

Hmmmm

I just came home from Lowes for something unrelated and checked and they don't sell torque wrenches at all at the one by my house.

I read the Icon one from harbor freight is actually pretty decent surprisingly. 120$ish. That's what I'm going to end up getting

I think if I torque to 150 ft lbs with my torque wrench, then give some good hard yanks with a 1/2 ratchet I'll be good

I can hopefully know if its not torqued enough by looking for this from the SSSYE install instructions:
NOTE: If you experience an erratic speedometer needle, this is an indication that the nut is insufficiently torqued. Retorque to recommended amount.

Yeah I read that too and wondered if you could try trial and error... It might work!

Nothing wrong with an excuse to buy a nice new useful tool though

This came from Lowe’s. It’s good up to 250 ft/lbs. you could always do a search online for your specific store to see if they have it in stock.

Oh nice! I guess it is kinda the case that pretty much everything in my town is the crappiest version of it out there

I bought that exact torque wrench from Lowe's when they dropped the price to $49. I was looking at the Icon from HF, but at the sale price, it was an easy decision.
